I cant you how much the rear sway bar means to the Del Sol. I am an original own of a 1997Del Sol Si. I drove several early Del Sols. Without the rear sway bar the rear would not stay in place.
@@hondatsunfan1011 I originally was going to buy the twin over-cam to get the handling. But middle age when I bought it , and Speed was not a deciding factor I went with the single . I burn 87 octane fuel. Zero to 60 in 9 seconds. Two second slower Than the twin premium fuel car. My car will cruise at over 100 miles per hour . In todays world that is more than enough for Me. I have the handling of twin over head cam car. The car has 208,000 mile and I’d rock solid. I use premium four prong Bosche plugs.
The lower models were intended for more sedate driving. You are most likely driving outside the intended performance range of the car. Many of the cars running around when the Del Sol was new never had front sway bars let alone a rear. Today, we are just so used to driving with higher speeds and higher performance maneuverability that our perception of normal/capable is out of calibration from the norms back then. Often times judging older cars with current experiences based on no doubt more modern vehicles we drove or rode in. When your Delsol with a front sway bar (only) was released it actually had more handling (with 4x double wish bones and independent suspension etc) and better gear than the regular car. Saying "it would not stay in place" kind of implying inferior design, dangerous dynamics or even a defectis not a true reflection of this vehicle without a rear sway bar.
@@hondatsunfan1011 That is the reason I bought it over the Dohc. I wanted to burn regular fuels and the miles per gallon. But I want the Front and rear sway bars more. 209,000 miles later, I am still pleased

excellent video, thanks man
Thanks for good inputs. I would like to comment here that you had made a typo at 4:58. These are M8/1.25.
Nice video. Did you notice a significant difference in driving after you installed the sway bar?
I definitely notice it on hard corners/turns. I definitely have more confidence taking turns quickly now.
Thanks for the video. Does your sway bar endlink sit parallel when fully tightened. I have skunk2 lca and the endlink is at a crazy pulled in angle
Where did you get the lower control arms from?
They were spares that Jason (in the video) had lying around. I don't know where they originally came from...

I agree. It's crazy that the Si originally did not have one at all!

@crxdelsolsir the Si model had the rear sway bar included in later model years (96-97), so Honda recognized the need for it.
